15ml Diffuser Oil: A lot of our customers use our oils with home electric diffusers, but fiddling with the roller ball top can be an inconvenience so we are happy to bring to our range 15ml dropper bottles, simply add drops as per your requirements and enjoy the fragrance, less hassle, less mess.

For the Candle: You will receive a 220g candle freshly made to order and since its freshly made, in order to get the optimum scent throw, your candle will be marked with a date, its advised not to burn the candle before that date. We use a natural blend of coconut soy and rapeseed wax with a cotton wick for our candles and the average burn time is 45-50 hours. The candle will come in a black gloss jar placed in a black gift box making it an ideal unique gift. Since the candles are made to order, please allow up to 5 working days for the order to be processed.

For the 15ml, 30ml and 60ml  Extract Spray: In 2021, the market trend has changed and PP are keeping with that trend. Customers want beast mode performance, and with the extracts you get exactly that; amped up formulation with added booster ingredients that will give you better longevity and sillage. Although slightly higher priced, its worth that extra amount if you love to make a statement with your fragrances. The concentration is higher compared to our normal EDP sprays mentioned below.

For the 3ml, 6ml, 10ml, 12ml, 24ml, 36ml and 50ml bottles: You will receive a high quality perfume oil filled in a roll on/dip stick bottle of your choice. Please note: If buying 2 or less 12ml bottles, we will send it as 2x6ml bottles to save on postage costs.

100ml Fragrance Compound: You will receive manufacturing grade fragrance in a dip stick bottle which you can use in different manufacturing processes where fragrance is required, the fragrance is undiluted which means it needs to be handled carefully and CANNOT be applied directly to the skin, documentation is available upon request after purchase.

For the 13ml, 30ml and 50ml Spray: You will receive a specially formulated spray bottle which will enable you to get that spritz feeling which you don’t get with the oils. Our sprays do contain Ethanol, however the longevity is better than what you would get from the high street brands. We use a high concentration level of fragrance in order to achieve longer lasting. The concentration is less compared to our Extract sprays.

Fragrance Dust:  Fragrance dust is our latest home fragrance product which we are really excited about. The beauty of the product is that you can choose any fragrance from our website and we will deliver it in that fragrance. As for the product, its simply scented granules. Put a few pinches in an oil burner, light a tea light underneath and within minutes the dust will start releasing the fragrance and it will continue to scent up your room for around an hour or even more. After the dust stops letting off fragrance you can simply throw the granules away, no mess, no scrapping off wax.

You will receive a 100ml pot which holds around 70g of fragrance dust, which will give between 30-40 hours of burning time.

Another advantage is that you can create your own fragrances by mixing different dusts together.

Try it you won't be disappointed.

For the Wax Melts: You will receive a 50g (approx) plastic container, filled with 7-8 pieces of wax moulds blended in a fragrance of your choice, each melt will give around 1 hour burning time.

For the Reed Diffuser Refill: You will receive a 100ml plastic bottle filled with a special compound blended with a fragrance of your choice. The Reed diffuser refill can be poured into the bottle you already have and use the same reeds. Please Note:  You will not receive the glass bottle or reeds shown in the picture as that is for illustration purposes only.

For the Beard Oil: You will receive a 30ml bottle filled with 100% pure Argan oil hand blended with a fragrance of your choice.

Very Close

Bal D'Afrique is absolutely beautiful but I just can't justify spending that amount of money (and not sure how they can justify asking it to be honest).
I still had a sample of the original to test this against and while it's not exactly the same it is very close.
The original is smoother and a touch sweeter/creamier to my nose. While the PP version has something very slightly smokey about it in the opening. On the dry down they are extremely similar.
I would say the PP version is even more unisex due to that hint of smoke. I layer it with PP Molecule 01 to boost the woody undertone and it's gorgeous.

Option Review:30ml Spray Extract
it’s an ok fragrance but it lacks the smoothness of the original. this one is a bit more punchy and citrusy, especially in the top notes. longevity and projection are not amazing, i’d recommend this more as a comforting, day scent.

Option Review:30ml Spray
This is just amazing. It's very close to the original scent and is an extremely beautiful and attractive scent. I feel confident as hell when I'm wearing it.
I got wafts of the fragrance when I was out walking and I can tell that people around me react to it as well.

This is extremely close to the original, and smells A LOT more expensive than it is. I might be able to smell the difference between this and the original if I had them side by side, otherwise there's no chance, I'd say it's about 95-99% identical, at least in the dry-down.
The only strange thing has been that I can't smell it on my skin after just a short while if I've sprayed it on my wrists for an example, but I still get wafts of the scent for many hours, possibly from the fabric of my clothing.

If you like Bal D'Afrique, get this! It's a no-brainer really.
If you haven't sampled Bal D'Afrique and you want a clean and fresh scent that manages to be fruity, citrus-y and fresh spicy that has a beautiful Vetiver base? Yeah, try this out!
I personally think it leans masculine - but I think I would like it on a woman too, and I've seen people say that Bal D'Afrique is more feminine, and I can't agree but that just speaks on how perfectly unisex it can be I guess.

Option Review:10ml Roll On
Blind bought this and the scent wasn't quite as I expected from the notes. It was pleasant, middling performance, but per reviews the original doesn't last well either. Last week I stayed in a hotel where the toiletries were scented with Byredo's Bal D'Afrique and it was 99.9% identical to this... And I preferred PP's version

Option Review:50ml Spray
Absolutely love this. Blind buy. Wanted something for the gym and to wear in the spring/summer.. Very hard to describe as it's so unique but the best way I can describe this is as.. Dirty clean.. Makes no sense till you smell it.. Like dove soap which I have but with an "ashy" dry note running through it.. Lasts OK and projects OK.. Great for the gym or casual wear during the day..

This is for the 15ml extract. I also have the oil, which I love, but wanted a version with a bit more sillage. I learned quickly to use the extract strength with a very light hand and it smells great, projects well and lasts for ages. Excellent dupe.
